That Guy in the Locker Room.... (:0) (Page 3)

I was really commenting on the "use a towel" comments.  I use a towel to dry off after the shower.  Walking to and from I am not gonna cover up.  Maybe even stop to shat with someone.  It's a locker room.

Invading personal space, I am with ya

My hotel for a race I'm doing in Key West just called today and my reservation had to be cancelled because they are doing some kind of emergency renovation. Everything seems to be sold out now.

The only place I could find that was reasonably close is a G/B/L B&B with a clothing optional pool.

O_o

I wonder if this thread is a preview.

Hm.

It seems you go to a different type of gym than I do.

Ah HAHAHAHA....   holy shyte....  that's a good one.  Best typo of the year

The gym I used to go to put the weight scale right at the entrance.  Every time I walked in, there was a naked dude weighing himself right in front of me.  I asked them to move the scale, they didn't, and I'm no longer a member of that gym.

LOL great post.  I think we've all had our own share of these.  The one's that drive me the craziest were the guys using the HAND dryer to dry, well not their hands... 

Also the dude who decides to use half a bottle of baby powder on his hairy chest creating this nice little cloud in the locker room.  Yeah I canceled my membership at that gym. 

I then went on to rant about it on my blog!  

A bit extreme? 

Are these folks on there for a half hour calibrating the thing with their body weight?  I'd think a quick hop on, weighing yourself ("think light!"), and hopping off is a-ok, regardless of location.

Look, who cares if a naked guy weighs himself?  It's a MEN'S locker room....if you can't handle simple nudity, then yeah....find another gym.

Its not that people can't handle it, its more like, "why are you doing this, shock value?"  On my 10 yr anniversary my wife and I stayed at a four seasons and signed up for massages.  Cool experience with the robe and all and I spent 20 minutes in their indoor spa.  A gross hairy dude came in and stripped down, asked me what time it was, and then proceeded to sit on the side of the jacuzzi with his junk hanging out.  I had to leave, it was my only choice.  It was either hang out with "Hairy Dangler" or leave and go hang out with my wife by the pool.  Needless to say my wife was first priority.  

I'm convinced it wasn't a comfort thing, he could have worn a suit, but rather a shock value thing or something.  I'm not convinced that it was just a naked thing.

I guess you are extremely lucky just to deal with only one, where I leave you have to deal with nudity inside any gym as is culturally acceptable to go "al natural", also its very popular to dry all your body I mean all with the hair dryer plus to make as much guttural noises as you can. After 7 years I can't still accept it.

I no longer go to a gym (not because of the nudity, though).  When I was going, every day I saw this woman who would sit on the CARPETED floor buck naked in front of her locker.  She would brush her hair, put on lotion, you name it.  All with her recently cleaned bits in full contact with locker room carpet floor.  Blech.  

I could care less if you're naked, but like a previous poster said, have respect for yourself and others and put something- anything- between you and any gym surface in the locker room.

At the local Y where I swim, there is a regular group who swims each morning and gets ready for work after.  They insist on having a naked group talk after the swim.  Not that I am a prude or anything, but its just wierd. 

But the wierdest may have been when they wished each other "Happy Valentines Day!" while in the same state of dress.....

Totally agree. I belong to a very nice gym and the mens locker room has their own sauna, steamroom, and a huge hot tub (more like a small pool) with a lounge area. Lots of nudity.

Weighing yourself naked is OK. Standing in the steamroom/sauna for a couple minutes up is OK. Sitting in the hot tub naked is OK. I can even cope with someone drying their hair or bathing suit naked.

Sprawling out naked on a lounge chair is NOT OK. Neither is laying down naked in the steamroom or sauna. Or sitting on a bench and chatting. Take a towel or two, they're free.

YOUR JUNK IS NOT SOMETHING I WANT TO SEE, M'KAY???

I may be BigFuzzyDoug, I have no choice...  Genetics made me fuzzy.  But that doesn't mean I have to let it go all 70's wild and untamed.  I've said this many times before dudes...  It's called the Phillips BodyGroomer.  Get it.  Use it.  Anyone who tells you that back & shoulder hair and a chest that makes you look like an alpaca is OK... IS LYING TO YOU!

This isn't 1950, 60, 70, 80 or 90...  It's the 21st century.  Accept it.

As other posters have said- it happens in women's locker rooms, also.  Occasionally I swim at our local YMCA.  The hour before lap swim there is some kind of water aerobics class.  It consists of about eight older women and one man.  The women all weigh at least 250 lbs.  Anyway, I find myself arriving early to the locker room because if I am still there when they come in I get to see a show I DON'T want to see.  They all strip down completely naked and sit around and have a conversation.  They have tried to draw me into their conversation occasionally, but I honestly don't know where to look.

I suppose I am somewhat prudish, but this is not a pleasent sight!

There's walking around naked, then there's sidling up next to someone, putting a foot up on a stool, and striking a conversation naked.  Two VERY VERY different things.

So, just to clarify; you don't want to talk to a naked man, but you want to touch him.

I'm middling fuzzy - not Robin Williams level of hair, but definitely my semitic ancestors left their mark. I occasionally shave the back and trim the chest, but mrs gearboy repeatedly says it doesn't matter to her. So since I have no need to impress other women, and my speed will not be significantly affected by shaving, I rarely do.
